Key Stat: The Packers limited Jerry Rice to one reception for six yards, a controversial catch on the game-winning drive in which Rice appeared to fumble.

Aftermath: It's considered one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history. San Francisco loses to Atlanta in the divisional playoffs. Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren resigns then takes over as head coach and general manager in Seattle.
